The Chard Garden Centre is in a beautiful part of Somerset (weather permitting!) and well worth a visit if you appreciate a traditional nursery which grows the majority of its own plants. The staff are pleasant and helpful so go ahead and ask a question if you need expert advice.

PLANTS AREA

The outside plants area is traditionally laid out making it interesting to wander round. Reasonably good signs indicate where the main plants groups are situated and then they are arranged in alphabetic order.
There is a good range of plants for sale and they all looked in excellent condition. Especially good was the range of climbing plants. We spoke to the owner, Neil, and learnt that the vast majority of plants were grown on the site. Run as a family business, Neil and his wife have a combined 50 years of garden nursery experience.

INDOOR SALES AREA

Being a traditional nursery business, you wont find miles of cards, gifts and toys for sale at this garden centre. But you will find a smallish indoor sales area that stocks most things your average gardener would need.

Plant feeds, compost, pots, spades, forks and lots more are here. The speciality at this garden centre is home grown plants.

CAR PARKING
There is a gravel car park immediately adjacent to the main entrance with lots of spaces.

SUMMARY
A small garden centre growing excellent quality plants at very reasonable prices. The bonus is that the majority are grown on site. This means that they haven't been trucked in from Holland or transported half way across the UK. Our ratings below take the size of the garden centre into account, the ratings are based on quality not size!
